"I mean we've got good
pitching, good team speed, good defense and great hitting," Alexander told MaxPreps. "The bottom line is we're a well-rounded team with lots of depth."

That post-season run for the Oakley, Ca., school has been one of several
for Alexander in his long high school coaching career. He started that
career after one as a player. He played seven seasons as a player,
making AAA in three seasons. He never made the majors.

Alexander's playing career began in 1987, taken by the Rangers in the 8th round of the draft out of the University of Arizona.

Alexander played his first season between single-A Gastonia and AA Tulsa. The infielder hit .289 between them.
